HypnoGizmo Toy

Keeper!! I have been so disappointed in all the motion, kinetic energy toys we have purchased.... due to cheap manufacturing and basically cheap manufacturing ,they all break.THIS ONE is GREAT!!! My son has a thing with space, time, motion .... quantum fusion.... parallel universes.... (he’s 4).... this awesome toy he will play with for hours at a time, as he’s doing other things too.. but he loves it, and has had it for a full day... and it’s not broken yet which is huge. Also it’s really not loud. We have barking dogs, barking cats and moana on full blast..... We barely hear it. Great buy for the price!!!!

I was skeptical about buying this. It looks simple and it’s $17.00.Well, it arrived in the mail yesterday and it was smaller than I expected. It’s no wider than a 2 liter and it’s 6 inches long. I bought it as a gift, but I was able to use it while in its packaging andddd it’s actually kind of addicting to do. I’ve found myself spinning it a few times now since it’s been in my house and now I get the appeal LOL. It comes with a fit to size stand so it can be placed in a desk or shelf. I’m considering buying one for my desk for stress management LOL!

I am torn between 4 or 5 stars. I am giving it to my​ 13-year-old for a gift because it is quirky, neat, and different. I always try to get him something that is unique that he will not easily find in commonplace stores (Euler's disk, slide whistle, weather stick). Uniqueness is why I chose this. It IS really interesting to see, BUT it will no be played with long. He will play with it for a bit, tell me how neat it is in awe, ask where I find these types of things, show his friends, and will be placed on his shelf. I know he will occasionally pull it out and putz with it, but it will not be a go-to toy. I really don't think it would be for most kids either. However, it IS neat to see in motion. There are videos on youtube that demonstrate what it does.

This was a Christmas gift for my grandson. When it arrived I couldn’t resist trying it out myself. It is very appropriately named. You get drawn in watching the balls move back and forth. We just had our family Christmas early this past weekend and it was definitely a hit. It’s for all ages!

My Montessori Kindergarten class loves it. It’s mesmerizing! It absolutely works well but I’d recommend that if you wanted to give it as a gift, I’d suggest the age preference be for 8 and up because it’s only sturdy enough for spinning. The plastic is on the thin and fragile side. I would buy it again if I had to.

Got it for a special needs 8 year old and it was a hit. I might get my own. You want to know what it does.... Nothing. It's a toy. You play with it. You spin/roll it and it makes a cool pattern, captivated the whole family

It provides an interesting visual when it turns with the balls sliding down a series of nylon lines. It almost gives he illusion of flowing if turned at the correct speed.

Then I got fun from the noise annoying my coworkers. Does what it says but gets boring after a while. I would not buy again if I weren't so rich.
